Lead Counsel – Respond.io

Location : Malaysia or Remote

Experience : 5 to 8 years in commercial or technology law

What You Will Do

Commercial (Primary)

  • Lead negotiations for customer, partner, reseller, vendor, and procurement contracts
  • Shape our negotiation posture and create systems that improve deal velocity

  • Establish scalable legal workflows for international growth
  • Strengthen legal hygiene and documentation standards
  • Identify gaps and design simple, repeatable systems
  • Privacy and Data Protection

  • Maintain core GDPR‑aligned operations (DPAs, DPIAs, LIAs, sub‑processor updates)
  • Translate regulatory requirements into practical, defensible decisions
  • Approach privacy as a design and judgment discipline, not box‑ticking

  • Coordinate with external counsel for high‑complexity matters
  • Company‑Level Projects

  • Work directly with the executive team on high‑impact projects that define how we scale
  • Support cross‑company initiatives that shape how we operate

    Experience

  • 5 to 8 years in commercial or technology law
  • Strong grounding in SaaS contracting and negotiation
  • Working knowledge of GDPR and data protection
  • Experience collaborating with GTM, Product, Security, and Finance teams
  • Mindset

  • Business‑first judgment with a practical approach to risk
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and designing clarity where none exists
  • Enjoys building systems from scratch
  • Clear communicator who simplifies complex issues
  • Operates with high ownership in a fast‑moving environment
  • Why This Role Is Unique

  • Build the legal function from zero for a fast‑scaling SaaS company
  • Work directly with the executive team on meaningful, high‑impact initiatives
  • Shape commercial posture, privacy operations, and governance as we expand
  • Clear growth runway into a future leadership role when the function scales
